CJIA to Kingston is about 42 km, 45 to 55 minutes off-peak, about GYD 21,000. The three missions most visitors need are within about 1.5 km of each other in Kingston and North Cummingsburg.
US Embassy
The embassy is at 100 Young and Duke Streets. Embassy hours are Monday to Thursday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm and Friday 7:30 am to 2 pm; American Citizen Services closes at 4 pm Monday to Thursday and needs a booked appointment (bring the printed appointment page), except for emergency passports. Emergency passports are handled without an appointment Monday to Thursday at 1 pm. Visa applicants enter the consular section only with an appointment. Phones, cameras, laptops, large bags and backpacks are not allowed, and the embassy has no storage, so leave them at your hotel and schedule the return ride for a set time before you go. Duke Street runs one way northbound on this block, and the driver drops you on the Duke Street side. The Marriott is about 600 metres away.
British High Commission
The British High Commission is at 44 Main Street, about 1.3 km from the US Embassy, about GYD 2,000. Visits are by appointment only, and it offers no visa or passport service on site; UK visa enquiries go to UK Visas and Immigration. Parking in front is limited, so drivers drop at the nearest legal kerb on Main Street.
